small vibrations
so i recently did a bit of front end work to my car, ( lower control arms and stabilizer links ) and lately I have noticed a small amount of vibration coming from the rear end, but this only happens when the car is cold, and under acceleration. I took it to a mech. and he doesnt see anything wrong with the rear end, but he did suggest i cahange outer tie rod ends, thrust rod bushings, and an alignment. Those would explain the vibration i get at freeway speeds. but what about the vibs from the rear end? anyone of you guys ever experience this before?
I should also note that I just did a diff service on the car, including outer axle seals, with synthetic diff fluid, but this problem has just crept up.

Because most mechanics don't want to spend more time on a car than they absolutely have to.
From the rear end it could also be the rear trailing arm bushings. Maybe that's what he means by thrust bushings. They're known to go out after 100k or much sooner.
